My life as a domestic diva, wife, mother, finder of lost things, laundress, dog wrangler, maid and friend. You won't believe some of the things that happen in my household of 5 plus 10 dogs (and whatever critters my daughter is rehabbing at the moment)

Yesterday, I told you about winning $411.00 by calling 1-800-free411 and asking for a phone number (just like your phone company's directory assistance, but it's completely free) Well, suprisingly, I got my check late yesterday!! Wooohoooooo!!

I would run right out and go shopping, but since the husband has been unemployed since September, I think we'll use it for bills. It's kind of difficult to keep warm and function without heat and electricity...and don't get me started on the "humans need water to survive" thing! *rolls eyes*

Anyways.....I learned more about the NEW 1-800-free411 contest...and now I'm addicted! Hold on.....I gotta call again..........

OK.....so I didn't win a $50 WalMart gift card on THIS call...but maybe on the next! You gotta try this one because it's fun! Call the number 1-800-free411, listen to the brief ad, say "CONTEST" at the main menu then you're off! You get to pick any 4 numbers and you;re told right away if you win or not.

Though I'd love to go through the phone and strangle the sympathetic (recorded) crowd saying "Awwwwwwwww" when I lose, it's so much fun and so easy, I gotta pick up the phone and do it again. I don't know......it's kinda like a slot machine and lottery draw rolled up into one......except I'm not shoving quarters into my handset.

OK....gotta go! If you play....and you really should.....I hope you win!

PS) Did I just sound like an advertisement? LOL! OMG! I did! But hey, least I'm not the Glade lady.

Who couldn't use some extra cash during this economy? And with the holidays screaming up on our heels, any extra cash would certainly come in handy! Sure you can attempt to sell things online, have a garage sale or play the lottery, but how about a chance at winning some cold hard cash by using the phone?

I just won $411.00 doing just that!!

I had heard about the sweepstakes, and even though I'm a hard core sweepstakes junkie, I didn't enter at first. But when I did, I actually won!! And here is how you too can win $411.00 INSTANTLY,....as well as something new...$50 gift cards!

Just like using your telephone company's directory assistance (which COSTS you money), you can call 1-800-free-411 and not only get directory assistance (and much more) for FREE, you can be one of two daily winners of $411.00!! And even better, every 5,000th call wins a $50 gift card!

You can can as many times as you like...there's no limit. Those are better odds than any lottery I've ever heard of!

In addition to the gift cards (which just started today at 1 pm EST here's what else you can win:

•60 Cash Prizes of $411, 2 drawings daily throughout the month of November;•One random drawing for a Blackberry Tour will be picked during the first week in December. •One Grand Prize: 3 day/2 night trip for winner and 1 guest to Boston, MA PLUS THE CHANCE TO WIN $411,000!

While in Boston, the grand prize winner has the opportunity to select one (1) cell phone out of 411 cell phones displayed on a game board. Each cell phone will contain a number that is matched to a sealed envelope number.

It's Me!

Mom, have you seen my........

Hey family.....more than likely, they are crammed under the coffee table, under the couch cushion, in your car, in the back yard or the dog ate it!

Yes, I'm the keeper of lost things, the cook, the maid, the nurse and EMT, the personal shopper, the "Dear Abby" and the one who gives the hugs and soup when someone is sick.

My home life looks just like your typical suburban soccer mom until you look a bit closer............then you'll see things that will make you scratch your head! Killer frogs in my back yard, giant moths that attack, far too many dogs, a daughter who recently moved home and brought her stalker-violent ex problems with her, a son with only half a brain, a 10 year old straight "A" student who's teaching herself Japanese and so much more.

Welcome to my blog....the asylum, if you will. Read my rantings, meet my family and enjoy the insanity. After all, if we can't laugh at life, then it's just not worth living!
